Default NEED SOME HELP/ANSWERS REALLY BAD!! pleassee!! lol

Ok look...i have a 1992 Lexus SC300. When i bought the car (about 2-3months ago), the cd changer wouldnt work, and the climate control didnt work. Here's the problem:

#1, when i load a CD into the CD changer, it says Error. It says Error on EVERY slot that i try. ALL 12!!!!! how Do i solve this problem!!? (i've tried using a CD lens cleaner, doesnt work )

#2, For the climate control, none of the lights turn on when the car is on. Also, when i press the auto button for the climate control, it doesnt turn on..How do i solve this problem!!!!??

Please help!..thanks

it should be in the kick panel on the drivers side. Go down and look where the pedals are. Directly to the left is where it should be located.

1. Change the cd player!

2. My climate control did the same thing and I replaced it..the unit is most likely done for!

Took me less than a week..nothing worse than driving in a car with no music...

Talk to a Toyota or lexus dealer. They can send the CD changer in to get rebuilt. Thats what I did.

Have you been using real CDs or burned CDs in the changer? Sometimes I get an error on my burned CDs, but typically real CDs always work so long as they're not all scratched up...Maybe try another magazine first, and if that doesn't work, you probably need a new unit.
